hey, i just went to get millie into ride and she has got a swelling on her leg with heat in it under her knee sideways on, to about less than halfway down before her fetlock, i hav hosed it and she is not lame on it.

im sat here in tears while i write this as i cant believe its happening, i really hope its nothing serious but i have had a look in a few books and looks similar to suspensory ligament strain any other ideas?

I hope it's nothing too serious. Good vibes on their way to you and Millie.

Just watched your Youtube footage in the link. What a fabulous girl she is.

im so upset as last night i felt so relieved that i had finsihed school and could begin to really work hard over the summer with her and i just feel like iv been hit in the face

I can totally sympathise with those emotions. We all love our horses and want them to be well of course, but it's such a huge disappointment when they are out of action. Only natural to feel so down.

Chin up though and here's to hoping it's not all doom and gloom
